18 ‘Culture Jamming’ 25 Seeing Red
Racist leaders are increasingly
sending out disinformation,
including fraudulent eyewitness reports and fake news

simply seeking equal rights.
But now they’re adopting
a classic conspiracy theory
about secret communists.

Not everyone takes the militiamen who occupied a federal
wildlife center in Oregon seriously. A litany of “erotic fan fiction”
lampoons the cowboy constitutionalists.
